Atomic Absorption

The primary purpose of an atomic absorption spectrometer is to measure the concentration of specific metals in liquid samples with high precision by analyzing the absorption of light as it passes through the sample.

These spectrometers can analyze a wide range of elements, including lead, mercury, calcium, arsenic, zinc, and other metals.

They are commonly used in environmental testing, pharmaceuticals, food safety, mining, metallurgy, and chemical manufacturing industries.

Yes, atomic absorption spectrometers are highly sensitive and capable of detecting trace levels of metals, ensuring accurate quantification.

These instruments are designed to analyze liquid samples, such as water, beverages, biological fluids, and industrial solutions.

The technique works by measuring the absorption of light by atoms in the sample. A light source specific to the element being measured passes through the sample, and the amount of light absorbed correlates to the concentration of the element.

Yes, these spectrometers are widely used to ensure compliance with regulatory standards in industries like environmental monitoring, food safety, and pharmaceuticals.

Advantages include high precision, sensitivity, reliability, and the ability to measure specific elements even in complex mixtures.

Flame atomic absorption uses a flame to atomize the sample, suitable for higher concentration ranges, while graphite furnace atomic absorption provides higher sensitivity and is ideal for detecting lower concentrations of elements.

Yes, regular calibration is essential to maintain accuracy and reliability, as it ensures the instrument's performance meets analytical standards.
